[QUOTE="BSeabob, post: 1410407, member: 73"] We have traveled to Alaska inside and outside and enjoyed both options. There are great viewing spots around any ship as it travels and with your Seattle itinerary you won't see much land other than when you are getting close to ports or leaving them. You will be up an about when that happens anyways in all likelihood. Utilize the ships TV with the bow shot station to figure out if you need to be outside viewing or not :biggrin: Weather can be good or bad at anytime of the year (it is the north coast after all) so don't worry about it. It will just happen and you can't do anything about it anyways. A wildlife tour through the ship or private will almost ensure you get to see stuff. They are not in the business of taking people out to see nothing as very soon they wouldn't be a business. On the water or in the air they will find you something to grab your attention. Juneau would be a good place to whale watch and Sitka has a good tour on the water also along with an easy walk to a fish hatchery and spawning stream. Their Raptor center is just a bit further through the woods and up a gravel road a bit also. Check it out online. [/QUOTE]
